Day 6 7th May 2009
Natasha woke me up this morning! It was 9 am & the first thing she said was Me go to the playground now, so I told her to go downstairs & see her Daddy & I rolled over for another 15 mins! This morning (after preparing a dinner for Natasha to bring with us), we left the house at 10.20 & arrived in the Studios about 11.00. We watched the Playhouse Disney show at 11.15. We dont have sky at home, but Ive seen it occasionally at my parents house. Natasha liked the interactive bits in it, the dancing & bouncing & especially the bubbles. I dont think we could get her to come & sit down again until they were all burst!
We went over to Buzz to collect fastpasses for later, but they were showing a time just 30 mins away, so we decided that we would be better getting ones after lunch in case we didnt make it back in time! Nicole found someones entrance ticket that they had left in the fastpass machine. It was a 7 day one from 7th 14th May. I handed it into the CM on duty & only hope that it was reconciled with its owner. Then we went to Lucky Nugget for lunch where we met Friar Tuck, Goofy, Pluto & then Mickey, Prince John & Mr Smee. We were seated on the floor area & in the second batch of characters we were missed by Mickey & Prince John. I had to call Prince John over because we hadnt met him this holiday. They obviously dont have a system in place to go round the tables! They had sausages on today, so Natasha ate them & after asking for them, she didnt eat the chips! I was just glad she ate something. She also had some yogurt.
After lunch we went to Buzz to pick up fastpasses for later, but the queue was showing 15 mins, so we decided to do it there and then. The queue didnt start until well inside the inside part, so the wait was more like 5 mins. My gun didnt work. When we came off we went back round again as the girls had enjoyed it so much & this time I did much better, but Nicoles gun didnt work. I hope this ride is due a refurb soon! Then we thought we would get a fastpass for Star Tours, but the queue time was only 5 mins, so I went on with Nicole while Denis amused Natasha on the arcade games in the exit.
The Stitch dance show was starting in 10 mins, so Nicole decided to watch that while Denis went to the baby centre to change Natasha & then walk round while she had her nap (he watched the show at Central Plaza).
Nicole enjoyed the Stitch show & tried very hard to get the moves right! Then we popped into Videopolis & sat down for about 45 mins watching cartoons. Some of them were very funny I especially liked Mickeys Trailer (or something like that). I think she would have sat there all day if we didnt have to meet Denis & Natasha at 4 pm in the
Disneyland Hotel. We were there for the meet & Greet Tigger, Chip, Dale, Goofy & Pluto. We had already met them all this week, so Nicole didnt want any more autographs but Natasha did! They both got a cuddle & photo with each one as there werent many there today.
Then we went to the playground in Frontierland it was the best part of the day according to Nicole & Natasha! Then I wanted to watch the show at Central Plaza, so Denis took the girls to the baby centre to feed Natasha & Nicole was hungry too so I think they shared the dinner! Then Natasha & I walked round while Nicole collected autographs from Raffiki & Big Al (both of which she had never got before) and nearly got Jessie (who she hadnt got yet this holiday), but it was time for her to go. Natasha loves waving to the characters on the train when it goes back up Main Street.
Then we went to the Studios for Nicole to try and collect more autographs she is determined to fill this book! While Denis & Natasha had 2 goes on Cars. She was happy to get the Queen from Snow White & Jessie (who she had just missed earlier) & she nearly got Aladdin, but he had to go.
We met up again & got the bus at 1910. Back at the Marriott the girls & Denis went to the playground while I cooked a pizza & after tea I sat down & watched Eastenders while Denis put the girls in the bath (to wash off all the suntan lotion). Then it was bedtime & the first time that Natasha has gone to bed & stayed in bed this week! It was too late for a swim tonight the pool closes at 10 pm, so we are enjoying some champagne I bought in the supermarket yesterday (much cheaper than at home!)
Plans for tomorrow: We have booked the Auberge at 12 noon for the princess lunch. I am sure the park will be very busy as it is a public holiday in France. I would like Nicole to see the show at Central Plaza as I think she would enjoy it. Anything else we do will be something with a small queue. I would love Nicole to get a few more autographs, but I have just looked at her book & she still has 19 empty pages (she has got 32 autographs), so I dont think well manage to fill it this time.
